Seaside Music Theater pays tribute to Sinatra

Special

Published Friday, January 11, 2002

Loved, loathed, idolized, ostracized and probably the most renowned musical voice of the 20th century, Frank Sinatra receives a tribute full of swagger and attitude in Seaside Music Theater's newest production, "My Way." This musical revue captures the wit and charm of Ol' Blue Eyes with a dash of humor, a pinch of tap dancing, a touch of elegance and a large portion of Sinatra's music.

"My Way" features over 50 songs, including "My Way" and "Strangers in the Night." Other favorites are "That's Life," "Fly Me to the Moon," "My Kind of Town," and "The Lady is a Tramp."

Whether you're talking about recorded music, live performances, movies, or simply living large, Sinatra had few equals. From humble beginnings, he rose to the very pinnacle of society. His career spanned decades and he was the first teen idol in popular music.

SMT seeks to incorporate the many aspects of Sinatra's personality, stage presence and comic relief he used to characterize his performances. The cast of four, backed by a peppy jazz trio, will deliver humor, dance and song on a stage resembling an upscale New York night club.

"My Way" is playing at SMT Downtown, 176 N. Beach St., Daytona Beach, until Feb. 11. Tickets can be purchased at the SMT Downtown box office or by calling 1-800-854-5592. Prices range from $23-$25.
